Big Bang origin of the Universe, artwork
Our Universe today and the Big Bang. The base of the funnel (lower right) represents the origin of the universe in the Big Bang, the initial expansion of the universe from an infinitely compact state 12-15 billion years ago. Matter formed and, around 100 million years after the Big Bang, condensed into the stars that formed the galaxies (shown here). Within the galaxies, planets such as the Earth and its Moon (upper centre) formed. The widening grid lines shown here indicate the expansion of the space-time fabric of the universe, an expansion that is both continuing and increasing in the present era

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork titled "Big Bang origin of the Universe" takes us on a visual journey through the evolution of our universe. The print showcases both the awe-inspiring grandeur and intricate details of this cosmic phenomenon. At the base of the image, we are transported back in time to the momentous event that sparked it all - the Big Bang. Represented by a funnel-shaped structure, this is where our universe originated from an unimaginably compact state over 12-15 billion years ago. As we move upwards, we witness the initial expansion of space-time fabric with widening grid lines symbolizing its continuous growth. The artwork beautifully illustrates how matter formed after around 100 million years post-Big Bang, condensing into stars that eventually shaped galaxies like those depicted here. In particular, our own galaxy stands out prominently amidst this celestial tapestry. Zooming in further towards Earth's vicinity within this vast expanse, we encounter our planet and its faithful companion - the Moon - positioned at the upper center. This serves as a reminder of how these celestial bodies emerged within galaxies like ours during early history. Overall, this visually stunning piece not only highlights key astronomical concepts such as dark energy and singularity but also emphasizes humanity's place in this ever-expanding cosmos. It invites contemplation about our origins and sparks curiosity about what lies beyond as we continue to unravel the mysteries of our extraordinary universe.
